Summary
Guys…high school was CRAZY.
This week, we sit down with names you may know from Text Me Back outros of yore, Isolde Raftery and Ella Hushagen. That’s right, Garfield Class of NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS UNITE! Woof woof Bulldogs! Ella and Isolde unpack even more of what the hell went on at Garfield High, and it’s a true testament to their journalistic chops that they broke this story back in Y2K and are still looking for answers (still waiting on your comments Seattle Public Schools! Call Isolde back!!!!). You’re going to want to go listen to all available eps ASAP because all this makes Lindy and Meagan make sense. Pleaaaase please go listen to Adults in the Room!
